Eating 1 hour before you WO?

[Needhelp]

Is it really necessary?

Right now he's my schedule.

7:00 - 5 egg whites, cup oatmeal, glass of milk

10:50 - homemade protein bar

12:30-school food

2:30 -homemade protein bar

3:45 - chicken breast
4:00-8:00 -work, probably have a protein bar there

8:15 - chicken breast, veggies
9:15 - WO
10:15 Whey with grape juice
10:45-sleep

Is that good or not?

I might try to change my work from 4-7, would that be better? And what should i do on the weekends when i'm working basically the whole day? Just take some homemade protein bars to work?

Hmmm....

Once again, I'm no expert, but my pre-workout meal is first thing in the morning. Lately, I've been taking my time eating and just chillin before hitting the gym. I find the extra time makes it easier on my stomach, and I don't get that "carb rush" I used to feel from eating, changing, then rushing off to the gym.

It's just good advice to either eat light or take time so your system starts processing it before you work out.

Maybe I could have a whey with water there instead? And then lift in 15 minutes or so?

Bro, this diet is great.. in fact i would go so far as to say its probably as close to flawless.. But here is my question. Are you really following it? Like you intend to religiously? Because i have to say that if you are you wouldnt be asking if it looks good because a couple weeks on that and you would be right where you wanted to be and your confidence would be right in check and you would be alot more cockier about it..BUt yeah, the diet is clean and you will get where you want IF you are actually going to do it with the workout and the cardio.

No, i plan starting it Monday.

I'm not doing any cardio.. this is my first bulk--i'm a beginner..

In a couple weeks you think i can add 20lbs of muscle and drop my bf by ~10%?

On this diet though, how much muscle do you think i can add in 6 months w/o increasing the bf too much (Maybe even lowering it since i'm a beginner)?
